Trento
Tier VI · Cruiser · Italy
Rating A (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 68) · Durable cruiser
Durable cruiser, suited to DD hunting, light-armor shredding. It is especially strong against battleships (SAP deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 4 min on paper). Top speed of 34.2 kn is high, but sluggish rudder and acceleration make sudden dodges hard. Its SAP broadside of 7,912 is 45% above average for big single hits. SAP deals heavy direct damage to destroyers, light cruisers and superstructures with no overpens, but it cannot start fires or damage armor thicker than its penetration.
